I’ll get a 120GB one for Linux Mint. I see good ones for $45 at New Egg and Amazon. ADATA and Silicon Power. I have 240GB San Disk SSDs in my two Desktops. With Some storage in regular 7200rpm SATA hard drives.
You got the high end Samsung SSD. Samsung is always good no matter what their product is. First SSDs I installed in my computers was 2 years ago. I was amazed at how much they increased response and speed.
oh man, i loved going from HDD to SSD- what a difference in speed- games load uber fast now- and desktop loads fast too (for me at least- went from loading windows in about 3 minutes (before you could click on anything and have it actually run) or so to under 40 seconds now and everything is instantly available as soon as desktop is up)- Much quieter, much less heat generated too- love it-
check out that 256 gig one i listed above on amazon from silicon power for $44- looks like a great bargain
oh shoot nm- it’s 120 gig not 256
you can save little bit o money on the 240 gig- (double the 120 capacity but $12 cheaper- two 120’ woudl be about $89) for around $72- looks like a good bargain
